Also, he will provide an incident response               methodology and information regarding structure and               organizational points of contacts for issues with various               Internet domain name operators and IP address space               administrators.               DDoS Attacks Against Europe               In the spring of 2007, the country of Estonia suffered a               deluge of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks,               coordinated to coincide with street-level protests. These               attacks caused nation-wide problems for the heavily wired               country of Estonia, and recurred in early 2008. These attacks               were not the first such politically motivated attack and will               certainly not be the last. This talk will explore the world               of DDoS attacks and their growing role as an online political               weapon. This talk will also cover how Arbor Networks measured               the Estonia attacks as well as how other attacks are measured               and what they mean for the Internet at large.
